A 6-month-old baby was hospitalized after federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis struck a car full of children with a flash bang, before flooding it with tear gas.

Parents Shawn and Destiny Jackson told Kare11 that they were driving their six children home from a basketball game Wednesday when a protest stopped them in their tracks.

As bystanders rushed the children to the safety of a nearby house, they had to go back for the 6-month old who had stopped breathing. “He was the last person to come in, he was just like, lifeless, like, he had like, foam, like, around his mouth, and you can, he had tears coming out of his eyes,” Destiny told Kare11.

Destiny said she performed CPR on the child while others called emergency services, who arrived shortly after.

    I for one applaud the heroes at ICE for keeping us safe from this baby. The baby was coming right for them. They were clearly acting in self defense. I heard one of them suffered internal ego puncture. I wish these patriots a speedy recovery.

    • the president probably.

    Press: What do you have to say about ICE nearly killing an infant?

    Noem: Who? Oh, they were a terrorist or something. Next question.

      No that’s not how their rationale works. They will blame it on the protestors, as without them the car would not have been stopped. Just like how you can get jailed for felony murder if you try to flee police and they kill somebody while chasing after you.

    That story is absolutely shocking and heartbreaking. Reports say federal agents in Minneapolis used flash bangs and tear gas during an operation, and a family driving home with six kids got caught in it their 6 month-old baby stopped breathing and was unconscious until bystanders and the mom gave CPR before medics arrived. Three of the children were taken to the hospital, and the whole thing has left the parents and the community shaken. It doesn’t sound like just a routine police action it raises real questions about how crowd control tactics are being used and whether innocent people should ever get caught up in something like this.

      You mean the part where they threw the flashbang and gas INTO their CAR

      Way to rewrite the story such that it would have been rational to use flashbanga against protestors in the first place. But innocent bystanders not okm so the protestors aren’t innocent?

    ICE are terrorists, every single enlisted member deserves the Gitmo treatment. Don’t just dissolve them, destroy them.
